#67-Freedom Requires Friction

from Treeforts and Mixtapes Hosted by Bret Nelson and Josh Brence

We used to be the remote. Now, if something takes effort, we skip it. In this episode, Bret and Josh unpack how technology—while making life more convenient—might be robbing us of something essential: our edge. Physically, we move less. Mentally, we outsource thinking. Socially, we avoid discomfort. But the truth is: we need friction. Struggle builds strength. Challenge sharpens focus. Discomfort deepens connection. So this Fourth of July, as we celebrate independence, we’re flipping the question: Is convenience making helping us stay free and meet our full potential?
